Nivedana Chat Room

[Guest guest]

Dear bhAgavathas,

 

On the morning of Saturday, December 5, the sishyans of HH Sri

Tridandi SrimanNarayana Ramanuja Jeear Swamy successfully

completed a test of a voice based chat room called "Nivedana,"

that is located in Excite's set of chat rooms.

 

The members of the test chat included Sri Raghu and Sri Ravi in

Chicago, Sri Vamsi and Sri Murali Mohan of Sunnyvale, CA, and

myself in Denver. We were successfully able to conduct a voice

conversation and hear audio taped recordings of HH and his

sishyans. We began the test with HH's introduction to the 2nd

Chapter of Srimad Bhagavad Geetha, followed this with a wonderful

bhajan that was recited by Sri Parasara Rangaraja Bhattar of

Srirangam, and concluded with a brief introduction to prapatti,

lucidly described in English by Sri T P Ramachandracharya of

Simhachalam.

 

This voice based chat room will augment and eventually replace

the old ICQ software (that did not have voice capabilities) that

was used in the past to chat with HH. HH will be informed of the

success of this test and will be requested to periodically give

kAlakshEpams in English when his busy schedule permits. Between

these chats, taped recordings of previous kAlakshEpams will be

presented, followed by a brief discussion among the devotees who

are in attendance. Many of these taped messages will be in

Telugu, but we will make sure to play at least one English tape

per month. I will try and provide you with a brief synopsis each

week along with an announcement for the following week's topic.

 

The first official net chat using this new technology will be

taking place this Sunday, December 12, at 9:30 PM Central Time.

The first tape of HH's discourse in Telugu on Bhagavad Geetha

will be played, and will be followed by a short discussion.

There is currently a limit of 10 people in the chat room, so

those of you interested in participating should reserve a space

by contacting Sri Raghu: ramudu or myself:
